How can a inbound marketing agency in Nice help your business?

Is there any difference when using a inbound marketing agency in Nice compared to working with this internally? Should you hire experts from a inbound marketing agency in Nice or can one just as well use staff in the firm to handle inbound marketing in the organization?

The questions above needs to be addressed in a serious way. In the article I will highlight some of the things you should be aware of before deciding whether a inbound marketing agency is needed or whether it is better using internal staff at the house at the local branch office in Nice.

Use of own employees in Nice to manage projects outsourced to the inbound marketing agency

Often, people in the Nice-department can have broader knowledge of what is going on locally than what you can expect from a inbound marketing agency far away or what the people at the headquarters of your organization are aware of. However, this does not necessarily mean that it is good use of resources to engage internal human resources locally in relation to the inbound marketing agency. Below I will highlight some of the things that need to be agreed about before proceeding.

The project you think of setting out to a inbound marketing agency can be time consuming and difficult to learn, but it can be well worth the time spent and resources

Putting the work out to a inbound marketing agency can certainly pay off, but it is still important that there are available resources that can handle this in a proper way on the part of the inhouse staff.

If you already have limited resources, the project will almost guaranteed not get enough attention and dedication from internal staff without adequate resources dedicated to handling the project. The inbound marketing agency knows that these things require a lot of attention and are knowledge-intensive, so they have put the resources needed to handle the project in a proper and professional way.

But, I have always been of the opinion that it is you who know your product and your market best, so if you have the resources needed, it is definitely the best thing to do it yourself. This is something that must be carefully considered before making a decision on how to proceed with inbound marketing.

Good inbound marketing tools

There are some things you need to be aware of when using a inbound marketing agency – whether this is handled by local staff in Nice, or centrally at the head office. Below is a handy checklist of things you need to think about, as well as the best tools you can use for either free or commercial tools where free alternatives are not available or significantly inferior to the commercial ones.

Google Alerts

To be on top of things, it is important to know what happens as early as possible. Google Alerts sends you an email every time someone mentions the words and phrases you specify. This can be anything from trademarks that are important to you, people of interest or general words and phrases that are important to your business. You can have alerts for all employees, freelancers you use, your trademarks including websites you run and words and phrases you focus on. All of this gives you a good overview of what is being talked about that matters internally. Google’s notification is free to use and helps you to be early in terms of being on top of what your competitors in Nice are doing, potential public relations disasters in the form of negative reviews and much else useful.

Ranks.nl

Ranks.nl has a number of professional SEO tools that I can really recommend. One of the tools I use most is Page Analyzer. With this tool, you can check keyword density on each subpage of your domain to optimize for keywords or phrases. If the inbound marketing agency you are planning to use is at all professional, they probably use the tools available from ranks.nl – or similar tools extensively.

Majestic.com

Majestic SEO is the world’s largest link index. You can use this tool to find out everything of interest about links to your own pages and what your competitors locally in Nice are doing, or what national and international competitors are up to. Links to your website and subpages are crucial to your search engine rankings, so this is important to keep tabs on.
